Network error reporting and recovery with in-line packet processing pipeline

摘要: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes electronic circuitry to support multiple flows within a network. The electronic circuitry to determine respective telemetry information for the multiple flows and inject an alarm message into a particular one of the multiple flows upon an alarm condition being reached for the particular one flow. The alarm message includes a multi-bit error code that describes the alarm condition. The multi-bit error code is one of multiple, possible multi-bit error codes.
